Bayview District Weekend Recap

On November 20th at 2:30 pm, officers responded to a house on the 1200 block of Palou regarding a possible burglary. They observed that one of the panels to the front door was damaged and appeared forcefully removed. They also found clothing scattered about the living room floor. The owner of the building advised the officers that her tenants were in the process of moving and did not believe anything was taken from the home, as it looked to her as it did earlier when she checked the premise on November 16th. She stated that the damage to the door was possibly vandalism to the property. This incident is under investigation. (SFPD Case No. 110933123)

The responding officers met with the victim who told them that he and his girlfriend left the house secure, with the exception of a backdoor that was possibly unlocked. When they returned to the home, the victim immediately noticed that his laptop computer, computer bag, and some change were missing from the living room. The rear door was found to be closed, but not locked. This incident is under investigation. (SFPD Case No. 110093793)
**************** On November 18th at 8:30 am, officers responded to the area of Evans and Jennings regarding a call of shots fired. They arrived on scene and located several witnesses to the
shooting. After their interviews, the officers were able to piece together what had occurred.
Apparently, an older white, four door vehicle was stopped at a stop sign at the intersection when it was approached by a suspect on foot. The suspect began to shoot at the car. The driver of the white car immediately took off west on Evans and the suspect ran west on Jennings into the passenger side of a “boxy” blue vehicle that was apparently waiting for him and the vehicle drove off.
Officers searched the area for the victim, suspects, and vehicles, but were unable to locate either that morning. They also checked San Francisco General for any self admitted gun shot victims but found none. They seized all the evidence that was located on scene but at this point, a victim has not been identified. This incident is under investigation. (SFPD Case No. 110929382)
**************** On November 18th at 1:30 pm, officers in the area of Fitzgerald and Jennings pulled up behind a vehicle that was wanted. The officers had prior knowledge that this car might have been used by two homicide persons of interest. As they began to follow the car, it suddenly pulled over and all the occupants exited the vehicle. They were all quickly detained pending the investigation. A search of one of the suspects yielded a bottle of Hydrocodone from his jacket pocket. The prescription bottle was prescribed to someone other than the suspect. He was placed under arrest and booked at Bayview Station. The other subjects were identified and released from Bayview Station. The Homicide Division was notified regarding the vehicle.

**************** On November 18th at 4:45 pm, officers patrolling on the 900 block of 25th St. stopped a car for not having a front license plate. As soon as they made contact with the driver, both officers smelled a strong odor of marijuana emanating from the car. They asked the driver to step out and he complied. When the officer began to search him, however, the suspect began to resist by not following directions and trying to turn on the officer. His partner assisted in gaining control of the suspect and completing the search. They found 2.2 grams of marijuana in his
pants pocket along with 1.3 grams of powder cocaine. The suspect was placed under arrest. The officers searched the vehicle and found a container with 22.3 grams of additional marijuana in the center console as well a large plastic bag in the trunk that contained another 43.1 grams of marijuana. They found no smoking paraphernalia in the car or on the suspect’s person. This, along with the large amount of the drug in the suspect’s possession, led officers to believe that it was being transported for the purpose of sale. He was booked at Bayview Station on multiple narcotics related charges. (SFPD Case No. 110930828)

On November 19th at 5:15 am, SFFD responded to a vehicle fire in the area of Newcomb and Barneveld. Officers responded to assist in the investigation. They found a Ford Escape with its interior on fire being put out by the fire department. The officers located the registered owner information and had a unit respond to the owner’s house to ask if the owner knew where his car was. Upon notifying the owner, it was determined that the vehicle had been stolen the previous night and a stolen/recovered auto report was taken. This incident is being investigated by the Arson Unit.

On November 19th at 10:00 am, officers patrolling in the area of Palou and Newhall conducted a check on a plate of a vehicle driving in the opposite direction. The vehicle came back with registration that had been expired for over a year. When they made a U-Turn however, they noticed that the vehicle was displaying current tabs. They pulled the car over and contacted the driver who did not have a driver’s license. While the officer spoke to the driver, she noticed a baggie containing what looked to be cocaine powder in the driver’s door panel pocket. A record check on the suspect revealed a no bail warrant for a parole violation. She placed the suspect under arrest and conducted a search that revealed two used glass smoking pipes and a baggie of marijuana. He was booked at Bayview Station on numerous charges.

**************** On November 19th at 11:00 am, officers in the area of 3rd and Marin saw a subject walking toward a recycling center in the area, carrying approximately five feet of copper cable. The officers instantly recognized the cable as PG&E property from a flyer that had been distributed to law enforcement. The flyer had photographs and described in detail what PG&E wire looked like and the likely spots it was stolen from. One of the officers had earlier been involved in an investigation involving PG&E wire and knew exactly how it appeared along with its differences
from other wire.
They detained the suspect for possession of stolen property. A representative from PG&E confirmed that the wire was in fact PG&E property and the suspect was placed under arrest. He was booked at Bayview Station (SFPD Case No. 110932711)

On November 19th at 5:14 pm, officers on patrol approaching the 300 block of Bayshore Boulevard spotted a vehicle in front of them with no working headlamps or tail lamps. Additionally, the vehicle had no license plate. The officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle. On activating their lights and siren, the vehicle slowed. Abruptly, the vehicle then sped up and changed lanes. The vehicle then made a sudden u-turn by crossing the double parallel lines. The officers followed the suspect until he got blocked in by the traffic ahead of him and had to stop. At this point, he attempted to back up but changed his mind and surrendered as soon as additional units arrived on the scene.
The suspect did not have a driver’s license or any other identification in his possession. He gave the officers a name that came back with no record. He was placed under arrest and transported to Bayview Station where an investigation into his identity ensued. The officers were finally able to positively identify him through a mug shot and obtain his real name. A record check under his true name revealed that the suspect had an outstanding warrant with a bail amount of $10,000 for driving without a license. He was booked on multiple charges.

was not injured and did not want medical attention. Both suspects were removed from the park and booked at County Jail. (SFPD Case No. 110935812)
**************** On November 20th at 3:40 pm, officers working the 49ers v. Arizona game at Candlestick Park were called to a fight in progress in Upper Section 42. They arrived to find two suspects punching a third who was attempting to shield his head and get away from his two assailants. The officers were able to pull the victim away from the suspects who were still continuing to throw punches and refusing the officers’ commands to break it up. Other officers were able to pull the combatants apart. As they did so, one of the suspects fell and landed on an officer, forcing him to fall on the ground as well. Eventually both suspects were handcuffed and
removed from the scene. Both suspects were identified as active Norteno gang members.
A witness to the incident told the officers that the victim attempted to abate a verbal argument regarding sitting in the wrong seat. Thinking the argument quelled, the victim went to the restroom. When he returned to his seat, someone in the suspects’ party threw a beer can at him and pushed him. The victim pushed the subject back and punched him, at which point the subject’s two friends jumped in and began beating the victim. The victim sustained visible physical injuries to his face and hands but refused medical treatment at the scene. Both suspects were booked at County Jail for aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and a gang enhancement. (SFPD Case No. 110936008)

On October 20th at 4:30 pm, officers assigned to the Candlestick Park game were approached near gate “F” by an off duty Watsonville Police Officer. The officer pointed to a subject and stated that the individual he identified had an outstanding warrant out of Santa Cruz County. The officers approached and detained the suspect. They told him why he was being stopped, at which point he began to tense up and ball his fists. He was handcuffed. A record check of the suspect revealed that he did in fact have a warrant, with a $25,000 bail amount, for his arrest.
The suspect refused the officers efforts to escort him out of the park by pushing against them, refusing to walk, and attempting to lay on his back. When on the ground, he began to kick and spit at the officers. He was so belligerent that he had to be carried by officers to the transport wagon. Two of the suspect’s friends attempted to interfere with the arresting officers on his behalf by attempting to push the suspect away from the officers. They were arrested as well. The suspect was ultimately booked at Bayview Station. His two friends were cited for interfering with an investigation and released from Bayview Station. (SFPD Case No. 110936058)
